If you’re spending more time at home, you may be noticing areas that are in need of some TLC. There are many home updating projects that will make your Tacoma or Olympia property look refreshed and new again. Staining or refinishing the surfaces in your home may be the perfect solution.

Your kitchen is the heart of your home, so updating it with professional painting services is a great way to make a big impact. Painting your cabinets costs a fraction of a complete kitchen renovation and is less disruptive. Many homeowners are opting to paint or refinish their cabinets and are impressed with the results.

Cabinet Updates

Cabinet updates are an inexpensive, yet effective way to update your home. While some choose to install brand new cabinets, others prefer to paint or stain existing cabinets for a fresh look. 

Painting Cabinets

Painting existing cabinets will give you a fresh, clean look in your kitchen or bathroom. Painting is a modern approach with options that are virtually endless when it comes to color. The one disadvantage of painting your cabinets is that it can scratch off over time if it’s done DIY or if the professional you hire to do it doesn’t do it correctly. If this happens, it will need to be repainted again. 

When choosing paint for your cabinets, you’ll need to consider the wear and tear under normal use and other factors. For families with young children or cooks who like to get the full use out of a kitchen, hiring a painting professional to do the job of painting your cabinets will avoid the need for any touchups. Your painting professional can provide you with durable paint options to stand up against grease and humidity, and that also provides mold and stain resistance.

Staining Cabinets

Alternatively, staining cabinets is a great option for a more rustic look. Color options for stains range from a light finish to deep and moody tones. Stains are applied slightly differently than paint and will need to be finished with an appropriate sealant. As with paints, sealants come in various finishes so you can achieve a high shine or matte look with extra durability.

Stains tend to be more durable giving them a longer life and can stand up against tough grease and are easy to clean after time. If stained cabinets do get scratched or need updates, light sanding and restaining is a quick and easy project to keep your kitchen looking its best.

Refinishing Surfaces

Refinishing surfaces is a common home maintenance task. From countertops in kitchens to bathroom tubs, sinks, and tiles, this is another money-savvy way to update your home and make it look new without spending excessive amounts of money. 

By choosing to refinish your surfaces, you can update the look of your home while creating a durable surface that will last. Worn surfaces like bathtubs, kitchen countertops, and tiles can become hard to clean or maybe just look outdated. With a color change and repairs, these areas can be repaired and updated easily, often in a few days.

Your property should be treated with care because it is one of the largest investments that you will ever make. Home updates like finishing or staining, when done properly, will help you take care of your investment and maintain or even increase its value.
